Lucas: Pittsburgh Rapid Reactions
By Adam Lucas
1. A bad second half doomed Carolina on the road, as Pitt beat the Tar Heels, 76-64. The Tar Heels have now lost four of the last five against Pitt.
2. Pretty simple second half equation: Carolina couldn't stop Jamarius Burton, and the Tar Heels struggled from the field. Carolina shot just 9-27 from the field in the final 20 minutes and 1-for-9 from the three-point line (that one was a desperation banked-in three by Caleb Love). Meanwhile, Burton scored a career-high 31 points and did it against a variety of Carolina defenders, including Caleb Love, D'Marco Dunn and even Leaky Black.
